A/N: As promised, we're starting this chapter off with some shoutouts!
First, georjaraine and Leon get shout-outs for getting the team correctly
And then MrBlueyes09 gets extra credit for not only getting the team but the specific Ranger right as well. Which one will it be? Guess you'll have to keep reading to find out!
"GO GO SAMURAI!" Izuku yelled, his Morpher turning into the Samurizer, flashing bright blue as he unleashed the kanji symbol for water and transformed into the blue Samurai Ranger.
"Anything goes as long as I stay in the circle, right?" Izuku asked, placing the Power Disc into his spin sword.
Aizawa nodded in confirmation. Perfect.
"HYDRO BOW!" Izuku yelled as he spun the disc, transforming his sword into a blue bow. He then grabbed the ball and attached the ball to the bow, drawing the string back and letting loose a volley, turning back to his teacher.
"2.14 kilometers. Well done." Aizawa said with a hint of a smile. "Who's next?"
And so things kept progressing. Izuku hadn't done in the best in every challenge by any means and he truthfully didn't expect to. His Morpher could help with a lot of strength tests, but he didn't have anything yet that could help with speed tests. Thankfully, the mixture of Izuku's training and the energy of Morphin Grid meant that the endurance tests weren't an issue.
"Hey, I've meaning to ask, what's your quirk exactly? Is it a Stockpiling Quirk?" Neito asked when everyone was done and checking their rankings. "Because that's the one type of Quirk I can't copy, and I didn't feel my Quirk activate when we shook hands."
Izuku shook his head. "No, I'm technically Quirkless. It's the watch that gives me the powers. It's... too much for me to explain now, but I'll tell everyone at the dorms, deal?"
"I have so many questions, but that does sound fair enough. Regardless, we shouldn't keep Mr. Aizawa waiting, should we?" Neito asked, causing Izuku to laugh. "No, we definitely shouldn't. And I have a feeling I know that this is about, anyways."
"Oh? Care to enlighten me?" Neito asked.
"Well, you know how you took the spot of one of our classmates?" Izuku asked while Neito nodded. "That was Bakugo, and he was... no fuck that, he still is my old childhood bully. Aizawa probably wanted to explain that to you and then ask me exactly what happened."
"I... suppose that makes sense." Neito frowned. "But if that's the case, then why the hell did U.A let him in? There's no way they'd let someone with a history of bullying into this school, right?"
"Normally you'd be right, but my old middle and high school were... awful, to say the least. Remember how I said I was Quirkless? Well the school actively encouraged Bakugo and the other students to make my life a living hell. They even went so far as to take anything that Bakugo had done and put it on my record, just to make sure I didn't go anywhere in life." Izuku scoffed at the horrified look at Neito's face. "Yeah, my mum made sure to raise hell after that little stunt. In any rate, from what I overheard my mum and her lawyer Kobiyashi talking about, it seemed like they wanted Bakugo to have a spotless record so that when he became a pro hero, it would bring more prestige to their school."
"That has to be illegal, right?" Neito asked.
"Oh it most definitely was. Place got shut down same day as the Entrance Exam." Izuku chuckled as they walked through the halls, making their way to their classroom. No doubt, everyone had already left to unpack in their dorms, so it was just Neito, Izuku, and their teacher.
"Neito, I just want to preface this by saying that this is in no way a punishment on your part. I figured you were the best option to switch for Young Bakugo as, while from what I've read from your file, you tend to go overboard with class rivalries, you wouldn't go out of your way to harm another classmate." Aizawa said, sitting at his desk and looking at his two students.
"I understand, sir." Neito nodded. "Izuku gave me the basic gist of what happened on the way here. The fact that someone like him is still in the hero course is appalling, in my opinion."
Aizawa's eyes narrowed. "Midoriya, start talking." He said
And so he did. For about an hour, Izuku told his teacher everything. Everything that had happened at Aldera High, ending with the last words Bakugo had said to him before the green haired boy had made it to UA:
"Do yourself a favor and take a swan dive off the roof and pray for a Quirk in your next life"
A stunned silence followed those words.
"What... the actual fuck..." Neito whispered. He had his moments of ego and superiority, but he never would've been THAT bad. What Bakugo done... it was borderline Quirkist.
"Midoriya..." Aizawa shook his head. "Izuku. I'm sorry that that had ever happened to you. If we had known... We would've never allowed Bakugo into this school. The fact that you still want to be a hero after everyone except for your mother seemed to fail you is remarkable. While I cannot decide his fate currently, I will be speaking to Principal Nezu knows about this. As for you, Neito. I don't want a word of this getting out unless Midoriya says it's okay. I needed you to understand why you are here. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." Neito bowed before Mr. Aizawa dismissed them to their dorms.
When they got to the dorms, Izuku asked for everyone's attention. The only one who wasn't there was Todoroki, who wanted to be left alone. These were his classmates for the next three years, he felt like they deserved to know exactly what his powers were.
"So, I wanted to clear things up for you after everything that happened today." Izuku said to the class at large. "What Bakugo said was correct. For all intents and purposes, I am essentially Quirkless. This" He held up his Morpher so they could all see. "is called the Master Morpher. It allows me to morph into a Power Ranger, which are those forms you saw me take both at the Entrance Exam and today's test."
"How many forms are there?" Kirisima asked, interested.
"We aren't... actually sure." Izuku said slowly with a frown. "At least a hundred from what I've been told."
"We? Is it sentient?" Tokoyami asked.
"...Kinda?" Izuku muttered. "I think it'd be easier to show you."
He tapped the Morpher and Tommy's vestige popped out, looking out as his young apprentice's classmates."Okay, wow there's a lot of you." Tommy said with a chuckle, running his hands through his hair. "Hello everyone, my name is Dr. Tommy Oliver. Judging from your reactions, Izuku explained as much as he could. Allow me to fill in the gaps."
So uh... you guys remember how I said I was taking a small hiatus? Turns out I'm just a massive fucking liar hahaha. I gave myself some time to just mentally reset and ended up pumping this out in the span of an afternoon. That being said, I do think I'm going to be slowing down updates a FAIR bit that way I can still get chapters out with reasonable consistency while also not burning myself out.
That out of the way, anyone who came from Animeworld's channel... Welcome! Seriously, the amount of support that video has gotten is incredible and I'm so happy that all the comments I've seen are so eager for more. So what else am I going to do but give exactly that?
Next time will be the Battle Trials where Izuku will be using yet another new ranger! Not sure which one it's going to be just yet, maybe give me some requests in the reviews? No Ranger is off the table (except for 6th rangers)!
Which reminds me: 6th rangers! I have a plan for when Izuku will unlock 6th rangers and I promise you guys, it's coming REALLY soon. However, Mighty Morphin Green won't be the first 6th Ranger morph. I promise that Tommy's morphs will have his day, but the reason I haven't done it yet is kind of simple: It's cliche. Tommy worship is absolutely a thing in this franchise, and as much as I love the man, there's plenty of Rangers who deserve their time in the spotlight first. As of right now, the plan is to have Izuku unlock the power to use 6th rangers during the USJ fight, and then have Izuku use some, if not all, of the Tommy morphs during the Sports Festival.
Anyways, I'm yapping a lot and I still have a chapter of Fastest Man Alive to work on so I'll leave things here
As always, thanks for reading and as always, drive the speed limit, drink some water, and love one another. Pizza!
